Baww, I still haven't been able to find any decent prices on a site that will ship internationally and let me use PayPal. :(

I dont know if they are still in stock but if anyone wants them people on here could probably buy and ship internationally(for box 4)

*EDIT* that was a half and half post. Yes i think they are still in stock and to other people who dont have #4 who are not in the country should ask people on here to buy them and pay the shipping cost. :P

If they were interested, why wouldn't they just get it from FUNimation's site themselves?

They don't ship outside the US. Now people can buy them for just the shipping cost added on :D

I'm just trying to help any one who is looking for box 4 and tell them that Funimation's website might still have them.

Just letting everyone know that boxes 5, 6 and 7 dropped in price from the usual $31.99 to $31.93. 6 cents less, but hey, something is something. :lol:

I was really happy to see that Box 4 plummeted on Amazon today. I hope that people who need it get it before it goes up again.

Man, they just keep dropping. Hopefully soon they'll do another printing of boxes one and two for those who need them. (That is, assuming these are a new printing.)

How it works is the sellers compete for lowest price(especially on amazon). So if you have someone who doesn't wanna make a profit, then you see the price plummet from 200$ 2 days ago new, to 55$ now. Unfortunately the box sold so they have it back up to 60$ new :( I hope it doesn't rise more.

I’m really confused has Funimation put out another batch of box four considering the price cuts on multiple online retailers.
just saw a listing yesterday for it on amazon uk for about £40 and ordered one from a seller in canada which has just dispatched (so not a ghost listing like the previous two orders of box four)
it wouldn't surprise me if Funimation reconsidered licensing another batch of Z dragon boxes from toei after the blu-rays considering the stigma the orange bricks have to anime fans.
but since its just box four which seems to be the only one which has resurfaced i shouldn’t read too much into it, at least I as well as the multitude of other people seeking box four have a chance to finally complete their collection.
and to think i was going to drop about £140 to get a used one on amazon UK like two weeks ago :?
being from the uk i dont often look at funimations shop was box four always listed or did it have a not in stock notice untill recently?

Thanks for the heads up, just made the purchase I've been waiting for (to hell with all you 150+ sellers out there)!

Rory did you order from moviemars? could you tell me if there is problems with your order.
I intentionally didn’t order from them here because they cancelled my order two times previously because their listings of box fours being stock errors.

If it is the amazon seller/ebay one moviemarz they try and make it so they are the sheapest price always. I remember listing a similar item of theirs and they would change their listing every hour to be cheaper than mine but if you ordered box 4 from them and the market became scarce I could see them taking their order back so they could raise it later.

Months back I watched Dragon Box Z Vol. 7 and noticed the subtitles had Kibito's name as "Kibit", it's not as if the 'O' in Kibito is silenced or anything, so why?

Anyway, I'm starting to think all we're ever going to have of Dragon Box-treatment are the Dragon Ball Z boxes, despite FUNi's survey there's been no news at all of any new Dragon Boxes.

Frankly, making the FUNimation Dragon Boxes Z a limited edition product was a terrible move from FUNi, now there's only the Orange Bricks available for sale, at $20 or £25 each. Oh well, I may have to consider getting the blue bricks (DB) and green bricks (GT). :|

A terrible move in the eyes of fans, not to FUNi. They are still making tons of money from their remastering. Which matters more than licensing a pre-remastered version at a cost.

Wasn't it said somewhere in another thread that the next release of Dragonball would be in 2013? :?
